Professional statement

Dr. Anne-Britt Ekert Rothstein is a licensed clinical psychologist who works with children, adolescents, and adults in a thoughtfully paced, collaborative therapeutic process. Her work is grounded in creating a space where clients can reflect more deeply on their inner experience, gain clarity about long-standing dynamics, and move toward change that feels intentional and sustainable.

She works with individuals presenting with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and the cumulative impact of stress and self-expectation. Many of the individuals she works with are thoughtful, capable, and high-functioning, yet experience internal pressure, uncertainty, or emotional fatigue that can be difficult to articulate or address on their own.

Her clinical style is warm, engaged, and integrative. She draws from multiple therapeutic frameworks, tailoring the work to each client’s needs rather than applying a single, prescriptive approach. She brings a neurodiversity-affirming perspective to her practice, informed by her background in neuropsychological assessment and a nuanced understanding of individual differences in thinking, learning, and emotional processing.

While she works with people across the lifespan, she has a particular interest in supporting women as they navigate questions of identity, relationships, and evolving roles across different phases of life. She also collaborates closely with parents and families, helping them better understand their child’s emotional world and strengthen connection at home.

Her practice is intentionally structured to allow for depth, flexibility, and individualized care. When appropriate, she offers extended therapy sessions for clients who benefit from having additional time and space to engage in the work. She views therapy as a collaborative process and is committed to helping clients develop insight, resilience, and greater emotional ease.


Message to clients

People come to therapy for many reasons—feeling stuck in familiar patterns, navigating a life transition, managing emotional overwhelm, or seeking greater clarity and meaning in their relationships, work, and sense of self. Some people seek therapy even when, from the outside, they appear highly accomplished or successful, yet privately struggle with perfectionism, chronic self-pressure, or persistent self-doubt or imposter feelings that are difficult to name or share. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and explore these experiences thoughtfully in a private and supportive setting.

I work with individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, and adults. While I support people of all ages and identities, I have a particular focus on working with women as they navigate transitions, relationships, identity, and the complexities of modern life.

My style is warm, interactive, and collaborative. I take a flexible, integrative approach to therapy, drawing from multiple modalities to best support each client’s unique needs. I bring a neurodiversity-affirming perspective to my work, informed by my background in neuropsychological assessment and a deep respect for individual differences.

Together, we develop practical strategies and deeper insight to support meaningful change. I also offer extended therapy sessions for clients who benefit from having more time and space to work at a deeper pace.
